Space Defense

June 10, 1985

OTTAWA — It would be irresponsible of the West not to keep pace with Soviet research into space defense. The comment: From a member of the British House of Lords. Baroness Young, an expert on foreign affairs and relations with the Americas, was interviewed Saturday on the Canadian Television program Question Period. Young: ''I think it must be remembered, and I think we cannot repeat this too often, that the Russians have been doing research on all these matters . . . for some time.'' Note: Britain has agreed to help the United States with space defense research.
